“A formidable sound. One is immediately struck by the color and stamina in Bonnie’s voice. The quality of tone is dark and smoky yet balanced in her lower register. Bonnie’s strength is in her ability to fully embrace each character she is portraying.”

_ Jay White, The American Prize

“Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber was called to express pain and suffering in her performance of Berlioz’ Les Nuits d’Ete and Purcell’s Dido’s Lament ... [she] should be a source of pride to a Saskatchewan audience as she sings at such an impressive level.”
— Heather Persson, Saskatoon Star Phoenix
“What a gorgeous, sensitive rendering of Lloyd’s score and my words. I got goosebumps. To possess such a voice!”
— Marilyn Lerch, Canadian poet, in response to Ms. Cutsforth-Huber's performance of Lloyd Burritt's Triptych
“[Her] voice is truly a force of nature!”
— Lloyd Burritt, composer
“I have had the honor and privilege of collaborating with Bonnie on a five-song concert set entitled “Saskatchewan songs.” I was able to attend the premiere, and her performance was everything a composer could have hoped for. She completely bewitched the audience with her stunning voice, “over the top” musicality and dramatic and agile mood changes throughout the performance. Her performance of my “hot off the press” score was spellbinding, completely memorized and with an uncanny sensitivity to the score. Rarely do I hear such impressive first performances of new works … A dream songstress for any composer.”
— Martha Hill Duncan in response to the premiere of Saskatchewan Songs
“Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber is a consummate professional. She is delightful to work with and always comes to rehearsals fully prepared. She possesses wonderful vocal technique and interpretive capabilities. She is a team player, very cooperative, and has a fun sense of humor. I will enjoy working with her again and would highly recommend her to other artistic directors as well.”
— Kathryn Foster, founder, general/artistic director, Center Stage Opera

“She brought her characters to life and sang quite expressively.”

- Guytano Parks, Choral Arts Cleveland Concert Review

“A notable performance in the evening’s concert was by mezzo soprano Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber. Her rich, round timbre was perfectly suited to Mahler’s Lieder eines Fahrenden gesellen and reminds this reviewer of the great voices and interpreters Christa Ludwig and Kathleen Ferrier. Her interpretation of the Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen was also a highlight of the evening – expressive and beautifully sung.”
